Event Description:
I was driving to Oxford Valley Mall from Trevose, PA to pick up my friend from work.

I was almost at the intersection of 413 and Maple Ave., when I had looked up and saw what appeared to be 3 circles in a trianguler pattern hovering directly above power lines along street.

I returned to the area at about 9:15 pm and there was nothing in the area at that time

Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: Easton, PA - Date: January 14, 2004 - Time: 5:00 AM - County in which sighting took place: Northampton - Zip Code: 18042 - Witnesses: 3 - Object's Shape: Unknown - Number of Objects: 1 - Object had lights - Object changed colors - Object hovered
Event Description:
For the past few months, an unusual object (or objects) hovers, changes colors from white to red (mostly reddish) ... appears and disappears in my night sky.

A few months ago, I saw an object so bright it couldn't have been Mars, or a star. It moved up and down, constantly and changed colors, just staying "basically" the same point in the sky, but it moved above and behind the mountain, in the distance.

It was shrugged off by me and my friends, after that exciting night. Then? By myself, a few months later, I seen it again, this time, it wasn't 1 light, it was 5 lights at 5 different parts of the sky!

Now, a few months later, this object appeared again, nowhere near the mountain, nowhere near anything. It was almost straight up and to the left, in the sky, hovering silently, slowly changing direction, and again changing colors, for most of the night. So? Rule out airplanes, helicopters, cabin lights, highway lights, Moon, Mars, Planets, North Star..... 

This happens a lot, and no one can explain it. I must say, it looks just like a twinkling star, but mind you, no star can be brighter than the North Star a vast majority of the year, and slightly move or change from white to red colors!!!

One time, 3 or 4 helicopters were going in it's direction, but this thing was way up in the sky, perhaps out of Earth!

This usually happens at night, from midnight to 5:00 AM. I hope someone can tell me what this is, if its a planet or asteroid, that's great! But, if it can't t be answered, then I will start to worry!!!

Subject: UFO Sighting -  Location: Springfield, PA - Date: August 18, 2003 - Time: 12:30 AM - Zip Code: 19064 - Witnesses: 1 - Object's Shape: Diamond - Number of Objects: 1 - Object had lights -  Object made sound -
Event Description:
It was about 12:30 AM, I was standing outside of my house smoking a cigarette.  I noticed this object moving through the sky, at first I thought it was simply an airplane and paid it no mind. 

But...I noticed it had lights on both ends and underneath it as well.  They were
colored lights and flashing.  The object flew very fast and was nearly silent except for a very faint humming.  It was circular in shape, but with very subtle points at the front and back, so sort of like a diamond, but not sharp like a diamond. 

After it flew over my house and kept going, the object eventually got out of my range of vision. 

Thats basically it....but it was extremely strange.  My neighborhood was in dead silence like a ghost town and the sky was very clear.  It left an eerie feeling in its wake.

Reported By: Tyler - Lewiston, Pennsylvania - May 26, 2003
Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: Lewiston, PA - Date: May 3, 2003 - Time: 1:40 PM - Witnesses: 1 - Object's Shape: Sphere - Number of Objects: 5 - Objects hovered - Objects "glowed" - Object: One had Aura/ Haze around it, 3 became transparent
Additional Information: It was over a cornfield.
Event Description:
I was walking home from a short walk on a go-cart trail.

I could see the nearby corn field when I noticed 3 objects slowly drifting in the air, they then stopped, hovered for a few seconds. The crafts were spheres. There were 5 of them. They hovered like a helicopter and then 3 became transparent.

Then 2 more appeared. One had an "orange glow" to it. They then changed their positions very quickly, like nothing a human air craft could do.

They turned on a dime. At this point, 2 vanished.

I ran home to get a camera, when I got back, the orange one and one other were left. I quickly got 2 photos, then watched in amazement in what was happening.

They just hovered for about two more minutes, then they shot off towards Grandville. They left with such speed, they were out of sight in less then 5 seconds.

Sadly, the photos did not turn out right, they where very badly blurred.

Subject: UFO Sighting - Locations: Jessup and Peckville, Pennsylvania - Dates: September 1970 and November 2002 - Time: 10:00 PM - County sighting took place: Lackawanna - Zip Code: 18434 - Witnesses: 2 - Objects Shape: Disk - Number of objects: 3 - Object had an Aura or Haze around it - Additional Information: 1st & 2nd Sightings, Near Appalachian Mountains
Event Description:   
I actually had two sightings that were more than 30 years apart, but near the same locations. My first UFO sighting took place on September 25, 1970, in Jessup, PA.

I was returning home from a high school football game, when I sighted a huge disk shaped object, over 1000 feet in length, glowing white, 3 huge spheres on underside, central flat disk, turret on top with a row of windows. It drifted silently across the night's sky.

Upon returning home, I was visited by the "Men in Black" for several night's, who remained parked outside in a large black limousine. No verbal or physical contact was made.

My second UFO encounter occurred more than 30 years later, but near the location of my first encounter. In the town of Peckville, PA.

I sighted two HUGE diamond Shaped objects that swung back and forth in a pendulum like manner for more than an hour, putting on a dazzling display.

I am still searching for answers to these two anomalous events. The one thing I am assured of is, that we are not alone in the universe.

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Roman K. I am not really sure whom I should contact to report this properly, so if you are not the right department, can you please be so kind and tell me where should I report this?

On November 30, 2001, Saturday evening about 2330 hours in Langhorne, Philadelphia, PA, my girlfriend and I were walking her two dogs and I looked up to look at the moon which was nearly full and was located almost directly above us.

I noticed that there was a mysteriously looking circle of clouds around the moon. If you would look at the moon, the radius of the circle would be about the size of a pinkie.

Its colors were also unusual to see in a dark sky, you could make out colors of red and green, sort of like a fading rainbow. We also noticed that it changed it's diameter a couple of times on a small scale.

Immediately I called my mother who lives in Northeast Philadelphia, and she confirmed seeing the same thing. To my surprise when I called 3 of my friends in Brooklyn, NY, they said that they saw the mysterious circle as well, even though they were about 80 miles away from where we were.

Inside of the circle there was no sign of other clouds at all, but outside of it there were some scattered, but the circle itself was separated from them. It finally started to fade away around 0200 on Sunday morning, December 1.2001.

My girlfriend's sister had also noticed this phenomena who was in Northeast Philadelphia at the time.

I was also wondering where I can find out if more reports were made regarding this event. I am aware that reports were made in the past years of mysterious clouds appearing, and some thought it was UFO's. If you have any thoughts or comments on this, please let me know.
Sincerely, Roman K.

NOTE: If anyone can relate to this Sighting, please contact us here at Mystical Universe and we will send your comments to Roman. Thank you.

Was surprised to hear no engine sounds. The object flew closer and observed a misty cloud around two lights. Approximately 10 seconds later, the lights dissipated in the cloudy sphere, as it continued to move. Eventually, the cloud also disappeared. Expected to see overcast conditions/clouds from what was just observed. Was surprised to notice no overcast/clouds present.
